Brandon Lee won the race with a total of 6,899 votes (59.50%), beating his opponent, Teresa Dominick, who earned 4,695 votes (40.50%).
In the November election between the original seven candidates, Dominick received 2,276 votes, accounting for 20.51% of the vote, and Lee received 3,671 votes, representing 33.08% of the vote.
“I just want to thank those who have trusted me with their vote. I’m genuinely grateful and humbled. I want to thank Teresa for running a very respectful campaign,” Lee tells EastIdahoNews.com. “I know that now the real work begins. I hope that those who didn’t vote for me will still reach out to me with their ideas as I will always have an open door policy. I look forward to seeing what we can accomplish in the next four years.”
